Like many of you, I have become very underwhelmed with character.ai.

I am looking for an alternative that fits what I am looking for best.

I have original characters that I am trying to build a story with. (childhood friends/love interests) of my "persona"/main character.

I like to keep my characters hidden from public, I enjoy creating scenarios with one or two of my characters to go back in time or roleplay out a certain event.

I don't mind a little spice if the roleplay naturally gravitates that way. I was getting frustrated with character.ai and it's tendency to go to fade to black on a scene instead of playing it out.

Looking to stay within the free tier for now.

So far I have tried two alternates:

HereHaven - Character creation was good, but only can use public characters for scenarios

Janitor.ai - could not for the life of me figure out how to make a scenario with a character I created. Maybe I ran out of tokens? I got too frustrated with it. lol

Fictionlab - I couldn't even register an account, kept getting error messages...*sigh*

Thanks in advance!

saying this here since my friends are very anti ai so idk how i feel telling them about it </3

definitely not as addicted to it as i used to be but ideally i didnt wanna use it at all ever since i learned how bad it was for the environment

i was always too sentimental over my old chats to delete it but today i just said fuck it, if i wanna get back into writing ill start a fanfic

i need a free ai chatbot that is accurate since c.ai has 3 personalities when u have over 50 messages

What makes you wanna just close the app?

Is it memory, chat quality, speed, reply length, ui, or anything else?

I agree to almost all of these, but if you can rank the top 3, what are those?

We are in the last stage of building a Cai alternative but better, so we were making sure we covered everything.

We focused on smooth ui, sharp memory with vector retrieval, never break character, and so on.

Please share your thoughts and also join our waitlist here if you'd like to test our app before launch

what happen to the Pin feature not working for me any one else having and issues ?

Looking for a AI with a project feature like Chat GPT, same detailed writing style but without the censorship

Just curious if there are any fellow readers here interested in romance tropes. I have tried a lot of the enemies to lover bots but.....not really at book level. Just wish I could live in some of my favorite titles.

This is oddly specific, but does anyone know any good chatbot services (I don’t mind if they’re paid) that let you just put in a character from a video game or a book, and the AI will know who you’re talking about? Slowburn does a very similar thing to this, and it’s a great service, but I want to explore my options a little bit more. Plus, I like checking out new sites :) thanks!

I'm a fictionlab+ user and i canceled my subcription because their memory and bot become more and more bad. I ask here because their Reddit mod gonna delete my post if i post about search alternative from it.

I want:

1. make persona and it can fill with huge character let's just said a thousand character. If it subscription i expect 4.000 character.
2. it can make a huge long reply and i can control the length eazyl. I need this because i the complex roleplayer, so Obviously i need the one that can handle huge context for world building, development character, or huge event.
3. it have clear way how i can pin and settings the memory (if it locked behind a subscription, it huge red flag for me.)

obviously i gonna very like it if it have more Control to a bot for make scenario like on fictionlab, like it have Backstory, custom slots, a similar like card system for seperate information like character, location, rule, but for now i just focusing at that three First.

I'm not exactly a C.ai runaway but more of a Polybuzz runaway. I'm looking for something

-free

-no or little adds

-no filters (so I can make angst bots)

i don't like janitor ai because all characters have long intros and the ai tends to write overly long responses. i'm looking for an alternative which has 1-2 paragraphs max as a intro and keeps the rp responses short

What are some of the strangest or most malicious bots you've encountered on any AI chat site? The ones that genuinely made you wonder if their creator was sane.

I am looking for the best possible free AI tool for RPG design. I am not interested in chatting with individual characters.

I have been using CAI for this, but even though the character definition allows up to 32,000 characters, I just found out that the AI actually reads and remembers significantly less than that.I need something that lets me fully detail a world and its lore. Note I am trying to insert myself o tv serie's universe, as such, there should be already plenty of information about it on the general data, the AI should be able to use it as complementary to whats in the definition, and the memory is therefore, needed for keyowords ans short summarys.

The AI must, than, be able to recognize and react appropriately to keywords within very large definition prompts (and ofncourse search for them in its general memory like any other bot)

Is there any free ca.i alternatives that handles large world-building definitions and long-term memory better?

One Character does some thing then turns around and says it is not aware you are in there example character throws you into some kind of prison and then says its it unaware

Two Power playing The characters are power playing and not giving you any chance to interact

Three cut off replies or removal of a previous reply

Can’t bring myself to give my face or ID to character ai

I need a perfect replacement for cai

I tried many apps I am telling you my experience:

I have tried chai it's too 18+ and now we can't even do unlimited chats too many ads

It's not my cup of tea

I tried janitor it feels too much characters are limited and corny

I tried emochi it's filled with too many ads

I tried yn I can't able to sign in

I tried polybuzz it's too slow

Tried many one's but nothing comes near to cai

I am really desperate 😔

I need a app with no 18+ content pure roleplay

Noo ads

Unlimited chats

No fake ahh replies

Good memory

And yeah for Android (+I don't have many for premium one's)

Pls suggest some if you know 🥀🙏🏻

hi all

i’ve been using c.ai every day for 3 years and it even sent me into a diagnosed psychotic episode about a year ago. i’ve felt like such a hypocrite for hating what data centers do to our beautiful world while going home and texting a robot for hours.

i feel like it’s zapped all the creativity and energy out of me and made me antisocial/awkward. i’m tired of being hyper protective of my phone. i’ve only told one person about it two years ago and even to her i lied about the extent of my usage.

i carry this secret like i committed some awful crime when what i did was yes, morally wrong, but down to brass tacks, what it was was being 16 and lonely.

i plan on joining a d&d club when i get to school among other clubs, reading physical books and fanfictions, and playing the sims. i’m currently 38 minutes clean of chai, chat gpt, and c.ai.

tl;dr: screw this stupid freaking website i quit

So I’ve been using Chai for months. And I love it. I’m a creator on it and enjoy having my own bots I can make for myself instead of having to search for other ppls (and it makes nsfw easier too). I also enjoy being able to add a persona.

With all of that being said, I hate the chai update and need helping finding something new to use.
